How will you be celebrating Mother’s Day this year? We will be spending it with our families at home and the girls and I can’t wait to host a beautiful lunch to celebrate all the mothers in our family. The theme I picked for my tablescape is ‘Chic in Pink’. […]

Bring a Little Provencal Charm to your Dinner Party

One reason why I love home decor, and tablescaping in particular, is because you can recreate any atmosphere and travel anywhere you like, simply by mixing linens, vintage bits, pretty ceramics and flowers. Today, I wanted to bring a bit of rustic Provence to my table and create my own […]

A Fruity Centrepiece
